Living with knee pain can make even the simplest tasks—like climbing stairs or walking—uncomfortable and frustrating. At Prevent & Restore Physical Therapy in East Cobb, GA, Dr. Ray Waters, PT, DPT, provides expert care to help you overcome knee discomfort, restore strength, and reclaim your active lifestyle.

Understanding Knee Pain

Knee pain can affect anyone, from athletes to individuals experiencing the natural wear and tear of aging. Whether you’re dealing with stiffness, swelling, or instability, it’s crucial to address the root cause for long-term relief. Chronic knee pain often contributes to compensation patterns, which can impact the hips, lower back, and beyond.

Common Causes of Knee Pain:

Arthritis or degenerative joint disease
Ligament injuries, such as ACL or MCL tears
Meniscus tears or cartilage damage
Overuse injuries, such as tendinitis
Poor movement mechanics or muscle imbalances

Why Early Treatment Matters

Untreated knee pain can lead to worsening mobility issues, reduced strength, and secondary problems in other joints. Many patients come to us with knee pain compounded by long-standing back, sciatica, or hip discomfort. Addressing your pain promptly ensures better outcomes and prevents further complications.

Comprehensive Treatment for Knee Pain

Dr. Ray Waters takes a hands-on, tailored approach to resolving knee pain. By treating the underlying issues, we aim to provide lasting relief and get you back to the activities you enjoy.

Accurate Diagnosis

We begin with a detailed evaluation to pinpoint the source of your knee pain—whether it’s due to injury, arthritis, or improper movement mechanics.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilizations and soft tissue release, reduce pain, improve mobility, and alleviate stiffness in the knee.

Strengthening and Stability Exercises

Building strength in the muscles surrounding your knee is critical for support and stability. We’ll guide you through customized exercises to improve function and prevent reinjury.

Gait and Movement Analysis

Knee pain is often exacerbated by improper movement patterns. We’ll evaluate your walking or running mechanics and make necessary adjustments to reduce strain on the joint.

Ray is outstanding with teenage baseball players. I brought my son to him after he started having shoulder pain from pitching and catching. Ray quickly assessed the situation and created a personalized program that not only helped him recover but also strengthened his shoulder. Highly recommend for young athletes and truly folks of all ages.

For years I suffered with debilitating migraines that affected my life majorly. I finally met a neurologist that suggested physical therapy because I had adverse reactions to medication and had found no relief from other alternative therapies. I could not be more happy with the results. Our time together has changed my life and given me the tools to be able to manage my pain. I have my life back! Ray is very skilled and knowledgeable. If you do the work he suggests you will see improvement.
